A technique that is beautiful in its ease of use. In fact, it is probably the number one bass fishing technique in popularity for fishing soft plastic. Dragging is a technique which utilizes aCarolina rig. The rig is made up of a main line, a sinker, bead(s), a brass "clacker", a swivel, leader and a plastic lure.
Though originally developed as a technique for catching a quick stringer of "keepers' using small artificial plastics it has evolved into a fishing technique for catching lunker bass as well. Many anglers seek the big bite using plastics that are 9" to 11" in length.

Dragging is suitable any time of year, though spring just before to just after spawn is prime time. It is best applied to clean, hard bottoms devoid of vegetation including points, ledges, humps and weed lines. It's not the best when used in thick aquatic growth or gnarly wooded cover.

"Draggin" is also good in deep water, 10´ to 30´ deep. It is very weedless. It can be used with either spinning or casting gear, is a great technique for covering lots of territory and can be fished slow.
